First, they watched children’s reactions to different foods introduced to them by Chef Tom French. Then they went outside for a lunch comprised mostly of locally grown products.

At 1:30 p.m., the County Council was scheduled to return to the Legislative Hearing Room for labor contract negotiations. That portion of the meeting is a closed session.

Open public meeting will resume at 2 p.m. for a discussion of the Woodman bulkhead appeal. At 2:20 p.m., the council will have a workshop on the county budget.
